From 1977: This Christmas, give the gift of a Burger King doll! Um, thanks?
From 1980: Todd Bridges promotes Toys for Tots via a "Lollipop Dragon." Yes, you are hallucinating.
I saved the best for last. From 1984: Santa pimps a local 976 toll number (you know, the ones used mostly for sex lines back in the day) for kids to call and chat with the big guy. Creepy much, Santa?
